Abstract: The invention relates to a shoe which has two rows of laceholes (4) in the planar upper (3) thereof and a shoelace (1) threaded into the laceholes (4) and an edging element (2, 9, 14) which is fastened to one of the laceholes (4) in the upper (3) and is fixed against movement away from the lacehole (4) and has a through-hole (5) through which the shoelace (1) extends. A rigid connection that is permanent, that is to say cannot be detached non-destructively, is provided between the edging element (2, 9, 14) and the longitudinal region of the shoelace (1) passing through said element.
